    R/R/CS: this cycles temps are all over the place! Oh well. I feel very relaxed this cycle. And I LOVE it! Dare I say, I have a good feeling? I know I won't O for like another 10 days but hopes are high!
    DS switched to a twin bed, he loves it! But he still isn't sleeping through the night consistently. It sucks. I never thought I would have a 2 year old who wakes up 3 times a night. Luckily I can get him back to sleep in about 10 minutes.
    My friends from high school and I are having a sleepover this weekend. I'm really looking forward to it. Except seeing my one BFF. She said something super hurtful to me the other day. (See yesterday's bitchfest) I just want to tell her how much she hurt me but I don't want to ruin the vibe.

    GTKY: On the rare occurrence that you get "me time" what do you spend this precious time doing? I read. I devour books like my life depends on it. Any alone time I have I spend reading and usually stay up later than necessary to read. And I crochet.

    HUGE hugs @JustinsLovo‌! I'm sorry you were feeling so down. I hope you start to feel better emotionally and physically soon.

    I love that your DD goes to preschool! I have been thinking about it for DS.

    Cycle/Month: 1/1

    CD/DPO: no idea

    Testing Plans: I tested last night (I bought a 50 pack of Wondfos when i was breastfeeding so I can POAS really cheaply) because I spotted last week and am having weird cramps and discomfort. It was negative, as expected. 

    R/R/CS: Still no PP period so I have no idea what day I'm on but I am pretty sure I have a cyst. I think that's a good sign because maybe that means I ovulated and am getting closer to having a regular cycle.
    Also, Kate has learned the word 'no' and I even think she said 'no, mine' to me the other day. I'm not really sure I'm ready for this phase.

    GTKY: On the rare occurrence that you get "me time" what do you spend this precious time doing? I never get me time at home or I would catch up on DVRed shows. Sometimes I get to go get a pedicure or run to Target by myself. 

    ETA: words are hard.

    R/R/CS: This is a pretty heavy period for me so I don't like the extra blah feeling and the extra work. 

    GTKY: On the rare occurrence that you get "me time" what do you spend this precious time doing? Watching junkie TV! My DH hates most shows I watch so I take that time to watch them and zone out! 

    @Bee1112 Recently my DD was waking up and coming into our room at 3 or 4. She wouldn't be upset or anything. I just kept bringing her back to her bed. She would also get out of bed right after I'd leave her room at night. It was a good 3 weeks of it! She has finally started back to sleeping through the night! I don't know why she decided to finally stay in bed, but I'm glad she did.

    Testing Plans: none - tested this morning for the first time since my BFP and it was fully negative so that was at least nice - hopefully everything will return to normal now!

    R/R/CS: My temps are everywhere. Also I have O'd in the past Cd16, 17, or 18 (once 19), and work has scheduled me on a trip CD 16, 17, 18. Nooooo. Maybe the CP I just had will mess those days up a little and we will still get ok timing?

    I love love love reading too. And I like to go to yoga/meditate.  I have a little "zen zone" in my house that I like to spend some time in once everyone is in bed.  DH works at 4:30am and goes to bed at the same time as DS, so I enjoy my evenings in there with my pup.

    @iamgroot‌ I do the same thing every cycle! It's terrible, but I can't help myself. This cycle if we got KU, the due date would be my grandmother birthday, and I'm very close to her. *sigh*

    Age of LO: 21 months

    Cycle 5

    Cd 17

    Testing plans: the Monday following halloween

    Rants and raves: so I really thought I would O today, but opk was negative and my temp only increased slightly. I'm worried I missed the surge when I forgot my opk and thermometer when we went out if town this weekend. Doh! Oh well... We will just keep up the Ed sex for the rest of the week. Just realized my husband is going to be out of town for the most important days of projected FW next cycle, so if we don't get KU this cycle, it likely won't happen next month either. :(

    GTKY: bumping! And blogging, reading.

    I just want to get in on the big kid bed convo. Our LO NEVER slept in his crib. We were never committed to crib training him do we mostly coslept. We moved him to a twin with a safety rail a month a go and he loves it. He will lay down unit when he's sleepy and loves to read books in it. We got him a stool so he can get himself out, but he never does at night. He usually wakes once, but is sleeping MUCH better in it. I was reluctant at first because he's little still, but it's been great

    Testing Plans: 10DPO? 

    R/R/CS: I have no symptoms and don't really have any positive feelings about this cycle. For some reason I just don't feel like it's the one. 

    I had a progesterone test yesterday, so I am interested in my lab results. I don't have any reason to suspect my progesterone is low. 

    GTKY: On the rare occurrence that you get "me time" what do you spend this precious time doing? I would do acupuncture on a "me day," and I would probably get caught up with students' grading.

    So THIS is what TFAS means.  Still working out my newbie kinks.

    Age of LO(s): 2.5

    Cycle/Month: 2

    CD/DPO: CD4

    Testing Plans: I'm going to try my hardest to wait until CD28.  I was awful with phantom symptoms and was ready to start POAS immediately after AF was over. 

    R/R/CS: Just what I posted on WTO.  I got paragard after DD and it has been hell on my body.  Long, heavy periods with contraction-like cramps.  I actually downloaded a contraction timer one cycle because I couldn't believe what was happening.

    GTKY: On the rare occurrence that you get "me time" what do you spend this precious time doing? I craft. I have a crafting list a mile long, that continues to grow.  But it's fun, and I feel so accomplished after a project is complete.  Sometimes, I shop.  But mostly craft.

    GTKY: On the rare occurrence that you get "me time" what do you spend this precious time doing? I'm lucky to have me time on my commute home every day - public transportation is the best. I get to read a book or two a week with that free time. Socially, DH and I trade off weeks for free nights with our friends - I usually meet my girl friends for dinner / drinks. At home, I nap, read, knit, cook and occasionally watch tv.

    On the big kid bed topic - I'm really stressed about the big kid bed. DS is on a different floor than DH and me, and I'm worried he's going to get out and wander. How do you keep the kiddos in their rooms? I really wish we were on the same floor and he could just wander down to us - I like snuggling with the little dude.

    @justinslovo I sit with him in his bed until he falls asleep. It is the only way it works for us. When he was in his crib he put himself to sleep, and like your DD would stay awake for a bit. He started climbing out of his crib about 5 months ago so we converted his crib to a toddler bed. Everyone told me to just put him to bed and walk away, and to do this repeatedly until he got the hint. He never go the hint. It got to the point I would cuddle in my bed with him until he fell asleep (about 20 minutes) and then I would move him. A family member needed the crib so we just went with a twin bed because it made more sense to us than to buy another toddler bed. Sometimes he wants me to pat his back or cuddle with him, but i try to just sit there so we can eventually get to the point where he just puts himself to bed. I am no expert on this. We are just doing what works best for us.

    @mandy522 I have no advice on that. DS gets out of his bed at night and comes to my bed. Maybe a baby gate in front of the door?

    For now we will be trying Gonal F injections, trigger shot and IUI. Hopefully my body will respond to the meds and we will have a chance!
